Re: Cost for Orthognathic Surgery - Ontario, Canada

Upper jaw surgery is not just for people with misaligned jaws, but is also used to cure sleep apnea. As far as the actual procedure goes, (and by no means am I m...

In total I have paid my surgeon about $700 dollars and $1200 to have ...

Re: First appointment tomorrow
There's many reason why people want to go through this tedious process. And any good surgeon will ask you this question. To us, there is no real wrong answer. I think what there looking for is someone who is just doing it for appearance. This was the first question my suergon ask me. I told him, I'v...

Re: Water Pik instead of flossing?
***UPDATE*** Well after having my braces on for over a year now, I can confirm that the water pik is an alternative to flossing. I had such a hard time threading that floss between my teeth, I would often spend 15 to 20mins just flossing. That being said, I have not flossed once after starting this ...
